Callen-Lorde Community Health CenterCallen-Lorde Community Health Center provides sensitive, quality health care and related services targeted to New York’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities — in all their diversity — regardless of ability to pay.

Girls for Gender EquityGirls for Gender Equity (GGE) promotes physical, psychological, social and economic well-being of girls, women and ultimately the entire community.

A Brooklyn, New York-based coalition-building and youth development organization, GGE acts as a catalyst for change to improve gender and race relations and socio-economic conditions for our most vulnerable youth and communities of color.
